Day 3 - Science Curriculum

The theme for my 5 days is Curriculum Choices. My aim is not to
list every single resource out there (That in itself would be almost
impossible as the Internet is an ever changing place). My aim is to give
you some ideas to start you off.

Today's theme is Science.
Over the years of my home school journey I have come to appreciate the value of hands on science learning and as a result I am purposing to do more experiential learning with Sir N.

We've done things like go on a 7 000 km trip to see a total Solar Eclipse, got up at 4am to see a total lunar eclipse and taken an early morning drive to go see an annular eclipse, spent hours at the science museum exploring and handing him broken appliances to dismantle. Day trips to museums are amazing sources of scientific experience.

I recently shared some thoughts on Science in the highschool years here on the blog and while writing this I discovered that there are some amazing science resources available.

Fossweb–Click on the subject, then teacher resources. You will then have to click on Teacher Prep videos for the lessons. Everything else on the page supports the lessons. There are games, worksheets, and many additional resources listed.

All the links to Book Depository on this page are my Affiliate Link. If you click on these links and make a purchase, I may receive a commission. This does not cost you any more, and it helps cover costs associated with purchasing books for our homeschool. I am very picky about the products I recommend and the companies I support. I would never recommend a product I would not use myself.

Zephaniah 3:17

The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a mighty One, a Savior - Who saves! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest in silent satisfaction and in His love He will be silent and make no mention of past sins, or even recall them; He will exult over you with singing.
